A shocking incident occurred in India’s financial capital Mumbai recently, where senior Muslim politician Baba Siddique was shot dead just weeks before key state elections. The renowned former minister in Maharashtra state was gunned down outside his son’s office in a cowardly attack.
The suspects arrested in connection with the murder claimed to be part of a notorious crime gang allegedly led by Lawrence Bishnoi. The tragic event followed threats against Siddique and an upgrade in his security detail, raising concerns ahead of the upcoming elections.
As investigations continue, Maharashtra’s deputy chief minister expressed shock over the incident and vowed to take strict action against the perpetrators. Known for his close ties to Bollywood stars, Siddique’s demise adds to the recent loss of jailed Muslim politician Mukhtar Ansari, who reportedly died under suspicious circumstances.
This tragic event highlights the need for thorough investigations and the pursuit of justice to ensure the safety and security of public figures in India.
